Andrew Barbash, M.D., is a Mayo Clinic-trained neu- rologist. He works with acute stroke patients in the Neurology-Stroke
Care
Program at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, Md. Barbash works with nurse practitioners and a limited number of special- ists. His patients usually come in through the ER. Barbash
and his leagues use col- Vidyo's
telemedicine technology as a service. Holy Cross Hos- pital purchases the Vidyo service from a company called IDSolutions, which hosts the Vidyo infrastruc- ture. Holy Cross doctors and nurses communicate over VidyoMobile and Vidy- oDesktop software, which
works on any mobile device or desktop computer, re- spectively. "I would de- scribe
it as Skype on
steroids with a couple of twists that make it useful for medical practice," says Bar- bash. Barbash introduced Vidyo
by having the nursing units use the software on hard- ware on their mobile carts. A small number of Holy
Cross physicians engage in Vidyo communications from home,
or wherever they multiple
have computer access, with a small number of nurses who have these carts. "It works with the click of a button," Barbash says, "and it gets everyone on the same page in real time." The technology supports participants.
"Vidyo makes it easy to in- vite other people
into a
meeting," he says. "You can control the electronic meet- ing room by locking it once all the participants are in."
This ensures the privacy of Continued
Vidyo enables secure meetings and immediate access to clinicians.
